One 77-year-old’s search for the truth: 9/11, election fraud, illegal wars, Wall Street criminality, a stolen nuke, the neocon wars, control of the U.S. government by global corporations, the unjustified assault on Social Security, media complicity, and the "Great Recession" about to become the second Great Depression. "The most important truths are hidden from us by the powerful few who strive to steal the American dream by keeping We the People in the dark."

Paul Craig Roberts and colleagues analyze the shootdown of a Russian aircraft by a Turkish plane for alegedly flying 17 seconds over Tukish soil, given that Russia had made it clear that all parties flying in or near Syrian airspace had agreed "that there be no air to air encounters". PCR gives several reasons why Turkey decided to break rule and three reasons why they are presently lying about their reasons for doing so.

One reason is that NATO governments lie every time that they open their mouths.

A second reason is that Turkey’s claim that the SU-24 was in Turkey’s
airspace for 17 seconds but only traveled 1.15 miles means that the
SU-24 was flying at stall speed! The entire Western media was too
incompetent to do the basic math!

A third reason is that, assuming Turkey’s claim of a 17 second
airspace violation is true, 17 seconds is not long enough for a Turkish
pilot to get clearance for such a serious and reckless act as shooting
down a Russian military aircraft. If the SU-24 was flying at a normal
speed rather than one that would be unable to keep the aircraft aloft,
the alleged airspace vioation would not have been long enough to be
noticed. A shootdown had to have been pre-arranged. The Turks, knowing
that the Russians were foolishly trusting to the agreement that there be
no air to air encounters, told pilots to look for an opportunity. In
my recent article, I gave a reason for this reckless act: http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/11/24/turkey-has-destroyed-russias-delusion-of-western-cooperation-paul-craig-roberts/

Turkey’s explanation to the UN Security Council gives itself away as
a lie. The letter states: “This morning (24 November) 2 SU-24 planes,
the nationality of which are unknown have approached Turkish national
airspace. The Planes in quesion have been warned 10 times during a
period of 5 minutes via ‘Emergency’ channel and asked to change their
headings south immediately.”

As SU-24 are Russian aircraft, as Turkey is able to identify that the
aircraft are SU-24s, how then can the nationality of the aircraft be
unknown? Would Turkey risk shooting down a US or Israeli aircraft by
firing at an unknown aircraft? If the SU-24 takes 17 seconds to fly 1.15
miles, the SU-24s would have only traveled 20.29 miles in five minutes.
Does anyone believe that a supersonic aircraft can fly at stall speed
for 17 seconds, much less for five minutes?

Do not expect any truth from any Western government or from any
Western media. Governments and media know that the Western populations
are uneducated, unaware, and can be relied upon to accept any
preposterous story. In the West the Matrix has a firm grip. The
Russians need to wake up to this fact.

NPR this morning confirmed that the media is a government propaganda
organ. The Diane Rehm show on NPR presented us with a group of talking
heads. Only one was informed, a professor at the Middle East Institute
of the London School of Economics. The rest of the “experts” were the
typical dumbshit Americans. They repeated all of the lies. “Russia is
attacking everyone except ISIS.” How can there be anyone but ISIS to
attack when the US general overseeing the area recently told Congress
that “only 5” of our trained “rebels” remained? Yet the myth of
“moderate rebels” is kept alive by these liars.

“The refugees are fleeing the brutal Assad.” Notice that it is
always Assad who is brutal, not ISIS which has cut out opponents hearts
and eaten them and routinely cuts off peoples heads and commits the most
atrocious atrocities. Here we have “experts” blaming Assad. The
“experts” said that the refugees are fleeing from Assad not from ISIS.
The refugee problem is Assad’s fault, not the fault of ISIS. It is all
Assad’s fault because he doesn’t give up and turn Syria over to
Washington’s ISIS henchmen.

There was no acknowledgement from the “experts” that ISIS is a
Washington creation or that until the Paris attack Washington was
strongly backing ISIS with both words and weapons against the Russian
air attacks that caught both Washington and ISIS off guard. This is
extraordinary considering the fact that US responsibility for ISIS was
acknowledged on TV by the former head of the Pentagon’s Defense
Intelligence Agency. https://www.rt.com/usa/312050-dia-flynn-islamic-state/

Gullible Americans who give money to NPR are supporting lies and
propaganda that have resulted in the deaths and dislocation of millions
of peoples and that are leading to WWIII. The Western media whores are
complicit in the crimes, because they fail their responsibility to hold
government accountable and make it impossible for valid information to
reach people. The Western media serves as cheerleaders for death and
destruction.
